Submission guidelines:

Prose:
> 3,000 words maximum (that should be more than enough)
> Paste your work into an e-mail (it's easier to deal with)
> Do not submit previously published work (it just looks kind of bad)

Poetry:
> Send up to five poems at a time (they should be your best poems)
> Paste your work into an e-mail (again, it's easier to deal with)

Art:
> We do not know much about art (send us anything you make)
> E-mail your loveliest art as a JPG or GIF file (we like these formats)

Biography:
> Please include a short paragraph about yourself (the world wants it)

Response Time:
>We respond to submissions fast (within a few days, most likely, but give us 30)

Rights:
> Unfortunately, there is no payment at this time (we wish we could pay you)
> If your work is accepted, it is automatically copyrighted upon publication, and you grant us one-time rights to publish your work and archive it online (for-ev-er)
> If a piece of yours is reprinted, please mention it appeared in decomP first (it's nice)

Simultaneous Submissions:
> These are fine as long as you notify us when another market picks up your work (we simultaneous submit, too)
